It's very bizarre to see a musical show in town these days where nearly most of the cast cannot sing but this is it. We carefully planned our escape at intermission and never looked back.

This was the second time I've seen this production, this time bringing a group of several people along. It's an affirmation for me as a director and producer of musical theater that no matter how small the space, a work of impeccable quality has tremendous impact. It's no wonder that this show has been extended and I hope everyone who loves good theater will take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy.

An amazingly talented, energetic cast that has embraced the terrific aspects of this musical, making it their own. The performance we saw featured a brand new conductor/keyboard player which could have been disasterous, had the actors not "gone with the flow". As in our own theater experience, musicals work very well in smaller venues and actually have a greater impact on the audience. The Full Monty was no exception. Kudos to everyone on stage... particularly the actor playing Malcolm, who has the voice of an angel, Ed McBride who's devotion to creating a real person combined with perfect comic timing is epic, and Aileen, a delightful actor with pipes to match. Also, just the right amount of very clever choreography with a great sense of humor. Thanks to Mercury productions for an evening that ROCKED!!

Production was like a bad high school musical. Most of the characters had vocal problems due in part to the fact that the music was so loud they had to scream to be heard. In particular the male lead was terrible, with most of his vocals sharp. This was highlighted in most of the duets and harmonies by most of the cast. His character in particular had a complete lack of charm, and he had not one real organic acting moment. It felt like he was reciting lines the whole way through. The set design and choreography weren't bad. The highlight and best thing in the show was the kid, who was the most accomplished actor of the entire cast.

Very intimate theatre which makes you feel a part of the production. The show was great with an equally amazing talented cast. I would recommend the show to anyone who is in the mood for a fun quirky evening. BTW the free beverages and snacks were nice as well.

This was a really fun evening. Theater is tiny so never a bad seat. The cast were incredible. Parking was difficuly however, as only on street parking on residential streets available. Since they are permit streets, that makes it a bit difficult. So recommend you get to this theater early.
Light refreshments were available for basically a donation. Would go to another performance here.

This show is a must-see. I can't remember when I enjoyed anything so much and for such a great price!!! The actors were great and really gave their all throughout the whole performance. The story didn't lose a thing in its translation from English movie to American musical play. Also, the Cuban restaurant down the street was a fun place to start before seeing the show and the break room at intermission with the candies and drinks was great too. All in all, a great evening!!

Great cast and great show in an intimate setting. It's a shame that the show is closing this weekend. If you haven't seen it yet, get your tickets now! But remember that there's only one bathroom in the theater, and the logisitics of the performance will prevent you from using it while the actors are on stage. So drink your wine and pee before each act!!!

I just saw the show for a second time - that's how much I loved it. The acting is genuine and heartfelt, the singing is beautiful and the story itself is so very entertaining. I've taken friends, my Mom, even my teenage son - and they all loved it!

Oh my goodness, this show is a must see!
The story was wonderful. Casting was perfect, everyone played their roles so well. You were cheering for the characters to make it. The singing and the choreography was fantastic! Wonderful little theatre and the nicest group of people that you would every meet in the Mercury Theatre Group. I have already been twice and intend to go again.

This was actually a gift for my sister. She absolutely loved it and was very happy that I shared this show with her. I saw it last month, was very happy to hear that it was extended. Sheldon, Ed, and everyone else in the cast are fantabulous!

While not a perfect production (the music overpowered the singing a few times and the lead man had trouble hitting some notes) this show was a blast. My face hurt from laughing so much. Great acting, great energy. We had so much fun. Go see it!

Great show, great performances, great staging. The theater doesn't have any amplification for the performers, so at times they struggle to be heard over the amplified band, but other than that it was a great night.

I love how the cast really seemed to enjoy themselves. My friend and I had a great time and would definitely return to this theater for future productions. And we're particularly big fans of the guy running the door who brought us wine at intermission!

Very good performances by all the company. The lead men were especially fine. Very innovative use of the space. This theatre probably was an old warehouse at some point and the rough industrial feel really played well with the show. My only grievance is that the pit band, while excellent musicians, were too overpowering for an ensemble that had no amplification. At times, I literally couldn't hear the singers, and it's not that big a house. It is the only part of a great production that would make me think twice about seeing another musical here.

There are some wonderful songs in this show, and this production is well done with fun and a light spirit. Suzan Solomon is especially a scene stealer as Jeanette the piano player, who plays for the guys. My friend and I enjoyed it.

I have seen the big production and this was just as good because of the smaller theater experience. Excellent vocals but sometimes the audio wasn't loud enough.
